Effect of continuous measurement and adjustment of endotracheal tube cuff pressure on postoperative sore throat in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
Continuous monitoring and maintenance of tracheal tube cuff pressure at 18 mmHg were superior to merely monitoring without adjustment, effectively reducing the incidence of POST during quiet within 24 h after tracheal tube removal in gynecological laparoscopic surgery patients.
Study context
- Population
- Patients scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic procedures
- Participants
- 60 patients
- Comparison
- Cuff pressure measurement and adjustment (CPMA) vs Control
- Primary endpoint
- Postoperative sore throat (POST) incidence at rest
- Follow-up
- Within 24 h post-extubation
Methodological detailssingle-centre, superiority
- Single-centre
- Superiority
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
P < 0.025
Secondary outcomes
Cough, hoarseness, pain scores · within 24 h post-extubation
- No statistically significant differences between the two groups
Sore throat severity scores · within 24 h post-extubation
- Higher in the control group
Safety
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)
- Higher incidence in the CPMA group vs control
